Broadwayworld.com has reported that the touring edition has broken records for tickets sold during its stays in Chicago and San Francisco. The first tour opened in Denver last year; tickets sold out in less than five hours, according to the Denver Post.

The reviews have been stellar. The Chicago Sun Times described it as having a “sweet, human message wrapped in a carapace of filth, and if you let yourself be bothered by the latter, you'll miss the former.” The Oregonian review said something similar: “Look past the profanity and other deliberately juvenile flourishes, past the surface skepticism and silliness, and you'll find what amounts to an explicitly pro-faith message.”

As in other markets, there will be a lottery for open seating before each performance at the Majestic. Those seats will go for $25 a pop; details will be announced closer to the show's run.

The show will play the Majestic Sept. 17-29. More info about it can be found on the show's Web site: bookofmormonthemusical.com.

The rest of the season holds four San Antonio premieres and the return of a couple of shows that audiences have been clamoring to see again. (Hint: Green skin is going to be very in on the Majestic stage next season.)

Here's a look:

“Peter and the Starcatcher,” Oct. 22-27: “Peter Pan” fans who have wondered how, exactly, Peter ended up in his state of unending childhood will find a possible answer in this play. The show is based on a series of children's books by Dave Barry (yep, the former humor columnist) and Ridley Pearson. peterandthestarcatcher.com.

“Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,” Dec. 26-29: The musical follows that green-skinned mean one, Mr. Grinch, as he attempts to swipe Christmas from the unflappable residents of Whoville, right down to the Who-pudding and the last can of Who-hash. The tale is narrated by Max, the Grinch's put-upon dog. It includes some songs from the 1966 TV special, including “You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas.” grinchmusical.com.

“Ghost,” Jan. 21-26, 2014: The musical puts the 1990 movie — about the spirit of a dead man coercing a medium to help him warn his beloved of impending danger — on stage. It's a pretty new show; it premiered in London in 2011, then popped up briefly on Broadway last year. ghostontour.com.

“Evita,” April 29-May 4, 2014: The tour follows the Broadway revival, an import from London slated to close Jan. 26. The musical, which has Che Guevara charting the ascension of Argentina's first lady Eva Peron as he needles her over her failings, is one that Majestic subscribers repeatedly request. It last appeared on that stage in 2005. This time around, fans will hear one addition to the score. It now includes “You Must Love Me,” which was written for the 1996 movie starring Madonna. evitaonbroadway.com.

“Sister Act,” June 24-29, 2014: The season ends with yet another film-to-stage adaptation. The musical is about a singer who hides out in a convent after witnessing a mob hit. Taking on the guise of a nun, she ends up helping the sisters discover their own talents. sisteractbroadway.com.

At this point, just one show has been booked outside of the subscription season: “Wicked.” The musical, another piece that Majestic regulars request, will run for three weeks, March 12-30, 2014. The show won't be included in subscription packages, though subscribers will get first dibs when tickets go on sale.
